This week we're back on the Mitsubishi Magna Ralliart... scoping out the car in more detail and working out if there are any additional issues which need fixing. We're also pulling the interior for a deep clean to try and reset things and make the car feel fresh and new (hopefully!).
Everything is just a little bit different to the Fords I know and love, but that difference is also quite refreshing and I am looking forward to learning more about the car and becoming more comfortable with it! #motoringbox

i can email the manual if needed, im sure ya know it can be done 2 x different ways. ya dont need to pull the whole dash out, but you have to recharge the ac gas so people pull the dash, its not that hard, but takes 6-10 hours the 1st time

I owned a TF Magna and then went to a KJ Verada. Both fantastic cars. Also worked for a major car rental company that went from a large fleet of Commodores, then in the early 2000s we introduced the Magna. Absolutely no issues with a huge fleet of them. My favorite car in the Magna family from that era is the Verada GTV. That thing was stunning.

Actually dude you're spot on with the cleaning procedure. Personally, I stopped using upholstery cleaner liquids & used washing machine detergents instead. I found they clean better from my recent experiences. Make sure you use a fabric protector like 3M Scotchguard or 303 Aerospace so they the carpets & seats stay fresh.

Hey Sean. Little tip since this isn't your daily driver, and you're in QLD. high pressure those seats! Don't even bother with the Bissell (As much as I love my little unit) Swing past bunnings and get a drill brush set for about $20. Some orange Agent by Bowdens Own from Repco/SCA. Soak the seat in orange agent and aggitate with the drill brush, and then blast it with a high pressure cleaner. Will be done in about a tenth of the time and it'll come up INSANELY clean

I like the 'Law & Order' approach to the operation. Excellent viewing, my OCD limiter is redlining. Just a thought, in most cases, simply swap the passenger & drivers seats over as the passenger is generally better. Also, if you pick up a seat from a wrecker, the seat base and back rest seperate, allowing you to create the best option, keep or sell the spare. This process has afforded me excellent quality bucket seats in many of the older Falcons I have owned. I'm sure this is no secret to you, but it may help a few viewers.

@johnsullivan937 Год назад

6:45 honestly my first thought was an elephants condom. Also about the shampooing, I remember having the best luck at a dealership I worked at for a while where we would take the seats/carpet out of the used cars the dealer was getting ready to put on the lot. And we would use a pressure washer before shampooing. Spray some high quality all purpose cleaner or upholstery friendly degreaser, and then spray the seats/carpet with a lower pressure as to not damage the material. Afterwards I'd recommend taking the seats to some kind of detail shop that has access to high quality shampoo machines, It really does make a world of difference using an industrial sized machine with a high quality steel extractor. I think you'd be shocked at how good the seats would look after that

@froggy0162 Год назад

I’ve bought a couple of cars with seats like that, and I’ve found the best approach is simply clothes washing liquid, a scrubbing brush and the garden hose. The trick is you need to have a couple of really hot days to do it because you soak the seat foam all the way through and it will never dry out on anything less than a couple of 35 degree days. A summer only job. But that deeply embedded filth like simply needs a lot of water to flush it out….

It was funny one day at work when the boss asked me if I could drop Mrs Palmer home 🖐️ 🤣🤣🤣... It was so hard to keep a straight face... One thing these cars had was two different types of spark plugs fitted to them... They had standard spark plugs in the front bank and platinum spark plugs under the intake manifold in the rear bank... You used to do the front plugs as required and you would change the rear spark plugs every 100,000kms... It wasn't a bad job... While you had the intake manifold off you would clean the throttle body and intake manifold etc... If it needed a rear rocker cover gasket you do one of those as well while you were in there...

Went most of the way around to stop the scalloped look so it looked good and factory...(Could even get them professionally machined too but if you want to save a few $$) I masked them up and painted and clear coated them (just the lips too not the whole wheel as they looked great still. They still look great 8 years later on my daily drive. Seats look a million times better... woah they were filthy. Keep up the great work.. this beast deserves some love! Heater core isn't a hard job just time consuming. take heaps of pics as you go. shame as the orings are a couple of bucks each and that's generally why they fail.

If you did that you could even get some red dye from spotlight and try to recolor the seats. Excited to see where this car ends up. I'm sure you'll do a good job.
